Web Performance Optimization in the Age of 5G: New Opportunities and Challenges

Abstract

This research paper investigates the evolving landscape of web performance optimization (WPO) in the context of emerging 5G networks. Through comprehensive analysis of current optimization strategies and emerging technologies, we examine how the unprecedented capabilities of 5G networks—including enhanced bandwidth (up to 20 Gbps), ultra-low latency (1ms), and increased network density—are reshaping traditional approaches to web performance optimization. Our findings indicate a significant shift from conventional lightweight design paradigms toward more feature-rich applications, while highlighting the importance of maintaining optimal performance through adapted optimization strategies. The research also explores the integration of edge computing, artificial intelligence, and machine learning in the context of 5G-enabled web applications, providing insights into future directions for web development and optimization.
